Well, as promised I'm now applying for all kinds of short-term contract/freelance work in the hopes that I can at least get some sort of income flowing in. My only consideration at this point is that it offer me more than unemployment currently is. Not a terribly high standard, I suppose. Still waiting to hear back from the confused company who promised to call today, but aside from that no other interest, sadly.

On the plus side I am also getting a helluva lot of packing done. However, I'm just about out of boxes already and I'm hoping I might be able to beg, borrow or steal some from a few locals (*makes puppy eyes at friends list*). If you can spare a few moving boxes I would be forever grateful.

I've also got a pile of books and stuff that belong to others, I'd like to get them returned so I don't have to pack and move them. The less stuff I need to be responsible for the happier I'm going to be.

There is never any need to take boxes to the dump. If you don't know someone who needs them, you can either freecycle them, or if you don't want to join freecycle, you can drop them off at a recycling center. If you're willing to flatten the boxes, there are drop off bins in downtown Mt. View where you can take corrugated boxes if your recycling pick up won't take collapsed boxes.

The dump is 2 minutes from my office, and very convenient in that I don't have to wrassle twine around an awkward stack of dirty cardboard. So, yeah, no need to go to the dump... it's just handy. They don't charge anything to dump cardboard in their recycling.

Freecycle is nifty and all, just not worth the bother when I don't want to arrange my schedule around meeting someone for the hand-off.

Ebon, I will need an address... I'll call before I leave work. The phone number I have for you ends with 7114. Is that still the right one?
